MyBB Hacks

• MyBB's editor is "broken" (like many parts of MyBB itself) - its OOP model is crap and you cannot have more than one instance of it on a page; in other words, this will screw up the normal post editor if I put it there
  

1{|}My Text 1
2{|}My Text 2
3{|}My Text 3

Similar to the Formatting Map List feature, but it is for input fields.
So, the output of our selectable custom thread fields on newthread and editpost is simliar to (example for Listbox):

<select name="xthreads_myfield">
	<option value="1">My Text 1</option>
	<option value="2">My Text 2</option>
	<option value="3">My Text 3</option>
</select>

• We can set the Underlying Data Type setting to Integer, if Allow multiple values for this field setting is set to No.
  

• If we want to change the 'display text' later, we don't need to update all threads with the new value.
  For example, we can change the value list like this:
  
  Code:

  1{|}Changed Text 1 2{|}My Text 2 3{|}Changed Text 3

  ---

  without needed to update all threads that use value 1 and 3.
  

• If we have a special chars inside the value list, we don't need to 'worry' that MyBB (1.6.4) will 'reject' our variable.
  For example:
  
  Code:

  {$filters_set['myfield']['selected']['Games, Entertainment']}

  ---

  because we can use:
  

  Code:

  {$filters_set['myfield']['selected'][1]}

  ---

  if we don't have Template Conditional or PHP In Template plugin installed.
